Latehar still a concern
Daltonganj: While Palamu was declared free of LWE last year, Latehar continues to battle Naxals. Ultras of the (TSPC) and Maoists are keeping the Latehar district police on tenterhooks. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Both the outfits have an identical modus operandi such as torching vehicles and machines engaged in road and bridge making, said general of police (IGP), Palamu, Sunil Bhaskar said, "Vehicles and machines are the soft targets for the naxals. It doesn't require sophisticated strategy as naxals no longer engage in direct combat with the police. Three or four people come, take the fuel out of the vehicle, set it afire, and make a hasty retreat."He added, "The terrain and topography of Latehar district help the naxals. Latehar district is still under the purview of the SRE (security related expenditure). It is still a naxal bastion."SRE is a MHA scheme for LWE hit state and district. It's to counter LWE by way of operation, training and rehabilitation of the surrendered asked as to when Latehar is expected to join the list of districts declared free of LWE, the IGP said, "The naxals have lost ground. Their connect with the people is over. Time and space both have shrunk to them."
